Market Wire, November, 2008

Finavera Renewables Inc. ('Finavera Renewables' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: FVR) is pleased to announce it has signed an exclusive Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with GE for the firm pricing and supply of GE wind turbines for the Company's 45 megawatt Tumbler Ridge Wind Project in British Columbia, Canada, which is planned to be constructed in 2011. Tumbler Ridge is one of the four projects Finavera Renewables intends to submit to the BC Hydro Clean Power Call.

Under the terms of the MOU, Finavera Renewables commits to build the Tumbler Ridge Wind Energy Project exclusively with GE wind turbine equipment. The Company and GE will finalize a turbine supply agreement ("TSA") shortly after the award of a power purchase agreement from BC Hydro for the Tumbler Ridge Wind Energy Project.

Finavera Renewables CEO Jason Bak said, "Signing this MOU allows us to secure turbines and firm pricing from a top tier turbine manufacturer and will enhance our bid in the upcoming BC Hydro Clean Power Call. These turbines are very well suited to the wind resource and terrain associated with this project."

Information on turbine supply for the Company's three other projects to be bid into the Clean Power Call will be released after the bids are submitted. Finavera Renewables is bidding a total 295 MW of wind energy projects into the Clean Power Call.
